So where do you find good ideas? No English library here, so all the "read this book or that one" aren't too helpful (I do have some books, but not a ton in specific themes and no English library to go to).

I'm looking mostly for projects, coloring pages and pages I can print, laminate, and put velcro on for my carpet board. Or things I can trace / make for my felt board. So some good clip art sites (where it would print big, not tiny), and some good sites of coloring pages (so I could print and color my own stuff), as well as ideas and themes to do. I'm looking to do 2 or 3 a month, and just tie stuff together loosely (so for apples I would work on red, but not in a "here is red" type of way, more like the apple is red. And have things on the board for the kids to take off and on (maybe big & little apples), and have a felt tree with apples hanging, that kind of stuff.

I was also thinking if there are a few of us that do our own stuff, maybe we could put together themes and trade. Upload google docs and you take all my apple stuff and I can take your stuff on fall.

Anyone interested in helping me improve my curriculum??? Please
Pinterest is great.
I buy a lot of my books from amazon and save them.
I don't need too many books off that subject at least 4. I read the same book everyday for 1 week.

From Pinterest you could get some good read list and then buy for a few dollars off of Amazon.
